← HistoryWhich failure occurred historically leading to inaccuracies in Inca record-keeping with Quipu?
A)Decay of dye colors used
B)Knots tied too inconsistently✓
C)Translations became loosely-tied folklore
D)System exclusively depended on metal
💡 Explanation
Inca quipu failed to maintain precise numerical records because knot-tying variations led to misinterpretations of values; therefore, the data lost accuracy, rather than dye fading (color was secondary) or metal dependence, since quipu was based primarily on chords.
